Abstract:
We present deep CO(1-0) observations of NGC6240 performed with the
IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI). NGC6240 is the
prototypical example of a major galaxy merger in progress, caught at
an early stage, with an extended, strongly-disturbed butterfly- like
morphology and a heavily obscured active nucleus in the core of each
progenitor galaxy.
Description:
The observations were carried out in May 2011 with six antennas using
the compact array configuration, and un January 2012 with five
antennas in the extended (A) configuration.
NGC6240 was observed by Chandra on July 2001 for about 35ks.
